How can i check if my chip is a Tbred

q149 · Nov 15, 2002

I just got a new 1700+ and i was wondering how i can check if it is a Tbred or not ..........thx

I think that the Tbreds have a rectangular core while the Paliminos all have square cores. Also, if you gave the stepping on the CPU, I'm pretty sure we could tell you what you got

Don't you think you should have looked at what you are ordering? Not all MBs support T-Breds. its easy to tell them apart. If there is a little black looking sticker thing that has the steeping info its a T-bred. If the info is on the core you have a Palimno.

well, i got it really cheap as a mobo combo. there is a silver reflective sticker thing on the core, i dont see a black sticker thing so i assume i have a palimno?

oh and i think this is the stepping? it says agoia 0209wphw

Yeah, that sounds like a Palimino to me. Mine has that silver thing going on, and the stepping definatly rings a bell.

n00b question alert! -- Is that silver thing supposed to come off?? Every pic I see dosen't show it, but I don't think it comes off....

could you post a pic of the silver sticker? i never heard of this before :eh?:

JigPu · Nov 15, 2002

Not really a sticker I would say, but more of just the top millimiter or so of the core being a REALLY shiny silver. I can't get a pic as this isn't the computer with them, but I could get you one if you really don't know what I mean.
